Arduino

Now this is really cool: an open source, single board computer suitable for use in hobby applications. Oh how I wish I had known about this for some my past Burning Man projects! It’s small (fits in the palm of your hand, and there’s stamp version as well), cheap ($30 - or build it yourself from the schematics, it’s open source after all ), and did I mention open source? So instead of getting some crappy, proprietary development environment that runs only on Windows 98, you get a quality IDE and support libraries that run on any platform. The have some excellent example programs showing just how simple it is to use, like this one.
